chase), absorb club sports contmgency
reserves of S5,000, and withdraw ap•

The J\SLC's budget problems have
been building for a few years. At the
beginning or the la.~1 .chuot year, they
had about 581,000 in rc~erves, $63,000of
which they spent on normal operations,
specinl projects and organizations which
went over budget.
Tu.mer says thnt unltl ili1s week, the
ASLC h,1d no bookkeeping system in

The ASI.C ib looking for ways to pre­
vent iliese problems in tht• future under

limes arc ahead. Next year, with their
reserves exhausted, the ASl C will have
unly student foes to draw ,1pon, some of
which will be nt!t!ded for expenses de­
ferred from this year. Says Turner, "11\et'C

Hemmingway stated that the reason

Interestingly enough, ru1otheroJ the issue.~ Smith touted was that he wanted

He also wanted "a better education

c.mse 1) Smith never went beyond this
one-sentenc~ catchphrase, and really
pre5entl"ll no ideas for actualizing lhis

Smith has no voting record to weigh

Jesuit, Catlin Gabel, Oregon Episcopal
School. Schools with a tradition of pro­
v id ing exccllenl education and other
extraclltrlcular programs. So they're
projecting \hat they'll forgo programs
with a history o( education in favor of
this brand new school." Bell also notes
that of the300students the Board hopes
lo attract, only 98 actually live in district.
This will cause more pol~ntial fund·
ing problems. "Their assumption ls thal
lhcy're going to gel 200 tutilion-paying
students ... 200 students lhal are going to
pass up established schools with estab•
lrshcd athletic and other programs.
What kind of than400students. Thisisgomg 1ohave
300. How arc you gomg to provide AIP
Physics, Calculus, English, with that few
students? It's so hard to find teachers
qualified to teach more than one subject.
But if you hire multiple teachers, costs
become prohibitive.•
Additionally, there is the environ­
menl31 question. To meet sewage needs,
either a new system would have to be
created-at great expense to the district
and much environmental risk-or the
school would h~ve lo plug into exishng

expressed the
opinion lhat "we
anticipate having
revenue from all
non-district stu­
dents one way or
another.~ He
noted that other " ... dozens and dozenR of
propertieR are acquireci
each year by eminent
ciomain. I know 1\lr. pipes running
uphlll, which
would C'Ju,L'
overflow and
back.wash in the
event of a power
outage. Bell will have an
objection to that, but I
believe he will be
treated fairly.''
-Roy Hemmingway The iustifka­
tion which ls be­
ing used to as­
sume ownership
of the Bells' prop--
erty is a proce­
dure called eml-
school districts could assist students in
paying tuition which would then help
the board cover costs.
Bell, however, feels that the cost es­
timates the Board uses are far from ac­
curate. By his calculations, "capital costs
including land, building, interest pay­
ment on debt will bring the total per stu•
dent cost to around $10,000. Students
will be paying $8,500 tuition, so the dis­
trict will be picking up about Sl,500 per
student." Bell, a stockbroker, expressed .
confidence in his estimates. "Numbel'$
are what I do for a living, H he said.
The size of the school further
stmgthens Bell's cost questions. Bell
notes that the school's goal is to house
300 students. "The Oregon Education
A$sodation (O£!A) has stated thal in
their view, schools should have no less ncnt domain.
"Eminent domain says that the con­
demning authority is acting for greatest
public good and least public harm, H said
Bell. 'Tm sure that there nre some cases
where eminent domain ls justified, but
this isn't one of them.N
Hemmingway said that the Bells
will be duly compensated for their lo,;s.
"They will get a price determined by a
jury to be fair market value ... dozens and
dozens of properties a.re acquired each
year by eminent domain, H
Hemmingway said. '1 know Mr. Bell
will have an objection to Uutt, but I be­
lieve he will be treated fairly.#
Bell's objections don't stop with the
legal processes. He feels that the pro­
posed high school is a logistkaJly un­
workable project wh.ich wiU cause prob­
lems for the surrounding community. Parking and traffic are $Ome of the
conrems the 300 students wiU foce. nror
students, staff, and faculty, there are 154
parking spnces. Where are they going
to park? [n the neighborhood? Up on
the roads? ... lt's a problem for Bird's Hill,
it's a problem for Riverdale, it's a prob­
lem for everybody."
Hemmingway was of the opinion
that creation of the high schoo.1 would
outweigh potential problems. "We have
an opportunity to provide a high school
of exceptional quality, which we've
work~-d very hard with Lewis & Clark
staff in developing curriculum for lhe
entire school."

Hemmingway.
Bell emphasJZCS lhal the suf!ering
his fnmily has been through already has
been extensive. Leg.ii foes have been
running up, and rcmodclUng plans have
been turned into nightmares. In an ef­
forl to renovale their home, lhe Bells
changed electrical wiring, installed a
new drainage system, put in a new roof,
new gutlers, tore up the carpet, tore up
the fireplace lo have it rebricked, and
undertook various other projects which
remain incomplete because of the lln«'r•
tain status of the condemnlltion. "When
